The battle of the shell

Two of our ruggies have been locked in fierce battle for the past several minutes. First, Flash changed shells and then a minute later changed back again. A little while later, Feegle changed into the same shell, and Flash came over and started checking Feegle's old shell out.

Feegle didn't like that. Not one bit.

I've never, ever seen two hermit crabs struggle for an empty shell like that.

Feegle won, and switched back into his original shell.

Then, they started struggling over the shell they'd both tried and rejected.

*sigh* So long as they're just bashing and pushing at each other, I don't worry too much, it's when they start pulling at legs and snipping at eyes I get worried. ;) So far, there's been none of that.
